I totally get what your saying about how sad/pathetic it is that you W can't share her love story vacation.
I sometimes think that I wonder what my xH and his girlfriend tell strangers "their love story" is about how they met. They all most come up with creative ways of rewriting things.
Denial is a powerful thing.
Look at Bill Cosby still believing his own lies. And he got away with them for decades.
